  1. Offshore wind generates 80+ GW globally but experts say capacity must multiply several times over to meet climate goals. The energy transition depends on accelerating marine wind development. #OffshoreWind #ClimateAction

  2. The global energy system is a tensegrity structure — every force pulls on every other. Offshore wind bifurcates, data centers reshape power demand, and advanced nuclear & storage mature in parallel. Granular, whole-system thinking, not binary frameworks, is the edge. post.kapualabs.com/2p8r538b

  3. $1.4B saved: #Massachusetts locks in cheaper #offshorewind power
    Massachusetts has activated long-term contracts for #VineyardWind, the state’s first #utilityscale offshore wind project. Officials say the move will stabilize prices for 20 years and cut a projected $1.4 billion from customer electricity bills over that period.
    The contracts, signed by utilities on behalf of customers, are expected to deliver average direct savings of about 1.4 cents per kilowatt-hour.

  4. Die #Ölkonzerne BP und #Total wollen den Ausbau von #Offshore-Windparks in der #Nordsee neu ordnen.

    Ihr „Re-Order“-Plan sieht vor, 70 Gigawatt erst 2057 statt 2041 zu erreichen. Begründet wird dies mit #Abschattungseffekten und höheren Erträgen einzelner Flächen.

    Laut Studie könnte der Gesamt-Ertrag zeitweise deutlich sinken. Politik und Behörden verweisen auf gesetzlich festgelegte Ausbauziele bis 2045.

  5. #EarthDay and the Imperative of Scientific Integrity by #RickSpinrad
    This year, as a contentious debate over #offshorewind energy unfolds along the Atlantic coastline, we are once again confronting a familiar tension: the need for urgent environmental action and disagreement over the #science that should guide it. It underscores a simple truth: science is most powerful when it remains grounded in evidence and public trust.

  6. Offshore Wind Projects Clash With Federal Authority Amidst National Security Claims

    Offshore wind projects like Vineyard Wind can restart construction after judges lifted federal stop-work orders citing national security concerns.

  8. The most expensive #offshore decisions happen in the grey zone.

    Not safe.
    Not unsafe.

    Just… maybe.

    And that “maybe” is where everything is decided.
